“Sunshine over the Hill, Coronation Park, Ystradgynlais” was painted on location in a new area I discovered some time ago above Coronation Park in Ystradgynlais.
Unfortunately, at this time of year it is not easy to walk up there, as much of the route is covered in marshy grass and mud. In the end, however, I found a lovely dry, sunlit patch of green grass from which I had a wonderful view.

I began the painting using brushes, but then switched to a palette knife, which I used for the remainder of the work.
I really loved the rare sunny afternoon up on the hill. The colours of nature were vivid and varied, and the temperature was very mild.
